LandMar Group hosted a successful grand opening for North Hampton’s Peninsula Estates neighborhood. The weekend’s events - held in three newly built model homes by ICI Homes, Arthur Rutenberg Homes and Watson Custom Home Builders - attracted guests with an offering of fare prepared by three of Fernandina Beach’s restaurants.
The premier showing of the Peninsula Estates model homes raised $4,500 for the Monique Burr Foundation for Children and the Boys & Girls Club of Nassau County Foundation.
“We were able to accomplish so much during the grand opening of Peninsula Estates,” said Jim Doyle, vice president of marketing for LandMar. “Prospective homebuyers were able to experience North Hampton’s style of luxury living firsthand in these wonderful new models, and they also helped to generate funds and heighten awareness for two very worthy area charities.”
LandMar kicked off the opening with a VIP fundraising event called “A Taste of Fine Living.”
The showing of the Peninsula Estates model homes had live entertainment and food donated by The Beech Street Grill, PLAE and the Golf Club at North Hampton. With a restaurant in each Peninsula Estates model home, guests sampled gourmet food such as ahi tuna tartare, lollipop lambchops, brushetta of duck confit and sambal seared tiger prawns.
Guests also had the opportunity to meet with the restaurants’ executive chefs.
Attendees toured the models, all on the same street in Peninsula Estates. All proceeds from the fundraiser benefited the Boys & Girls Club of Nassau County Foundation and the Monique Burr Foundation for Children.
The model homes officially opened to the public during the w eekend following the event.
